The only shovel that is ready is the one we will use to bury the Obama Presidency.

Predicting 2014.

Obama’s CZARS sure have their high paying jobs...that’s your tax money going to these kooks who want to destroy you.

[Kenton]

Well, that should give all the unemployed labor types adequate time to think about how all that hopey-changey stuff is workin’ out for them...

The crowds are so sparse at my local McDonald’s, they’re down to a skeleton crew of teenagers working behind the counter during much of the day.

Unemployment here in L.A. is around 14%.

Congress can take the shovel-ready jobs since they will be receiving pink slips from the America people in 2010.

These are the only 'shovel ready' jobs Americans are going to have if we don't hault the hard-left in this country.

Here's a way to get our jobs back: reform our national taxation system to encourage personal savings and capital investment staying in the USA. That right there will mean businesses stay in the USA because of the tax advantage of no more taxes on earning money, and the Rust Belt stops being that as millions of industrial jobs return to the USA under better tax circumstances.

if they are predicting that far into future then its not going to happen...just more government growth....Im going to plow up my back yard so i can feed my neighbors.

So if this nightmare drags along until 2014, with 20% of would-be workers unemployed, houses lost, businesses shuttered, food banks depleted, honest family men begging in the street in my once-prosperous DC suburb—how is this different from the Great Depression?

Sold my old business and moved to another state. The business model I used is falling flat on its face in the new state I moved to.

I’m tinkering with it and trying to find the right formula, so far with little success.

I deal business to business and am not involved with the consumer market, well, only peripherally.

It’s a tough market - no doubt.

People seem to be afraid and the fear comes from the unknown generated by the fascist pigs in Washington.

People are eating, buying gas, paying mortgages and rent, etc., so it’s not like the market is dead. In fact, the flea markets here are doing huge amounts of business - food, weapons, ammo, clothing, cookware, &&...

This morning I think I found a small niche market I can move into.

If not, I’m looking at smuggling or printing “Have Gun Will Travel” business cards as a career.

Hmmm, the federal minimum wage was increased in July.

Many on the right opposed the increase on the grounds that it would drive up the unemployment rate among teenagers and young adults.

And that’s what’s happened.

Go figure.
